In a secretive WWII code-breaking hub, a young British woman's allegiance to her country collides with a passionate romance with an American soldier, leading to a transatlantic tale of love, sacrifice, and a family legacy wrapped in wartime secrets.

In Shadows is a short film about a WWII wireless telegraphy operator hiding behind enemy lines, coordinating messages between HQ and field agents. The Art Direction was by Hannah Anderson who also wrote, directed and edited the film. This film won the Robin Eickman Cinema Student Scholarship at SFSU and was a faculty nominee for the Kodak Scholarship.

As part of the Veteran Documentary Corps (VDC), I directed a short film about a WW2 veteran. In this short documentary, Adele Shimanoff recounts her experiences after enlisting in the United States Marine Corps in 1945. After completing six weeks of boot camp at Camp Lejeune, NC she mainly did clerical type work. Most of the women like Adele were recruited to free a Marine to fight. “War is hell. It has been said that ‘The pen is mightier than the sword.’ Unfortunately, that is not always been the case.”–Adele Shimanoff  

Part of a new series I am developing called LCA Next Stop. This film features an Art student from the School of Art Program at SFSU sharing her process and highlighting her inspiring work.
